Our Custom Equipment Enclosure Services

Complete enclosure solutions from concept to production, featuring thermoforming, precision fabrication, rapid prototyping, and scalable manufacturing for industrial-grade protection.

Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming

Custom vacuum-formed enclosures using eight machines ranging from 2'x3' to 5'x9'. High-volume rotary thermoforming delivers cost-effective protective housings with quick turnaround times for both small and large production runs.

CNC Trimming & Precision Cutting

Exact-specification finishing using two 5'x10' CNC trimming centers. Automated routing, drilling, and edge finishing ensure dimensional accuracy and assembly-ready parts for custom enclosures and industrial components.

Custom Plastic Fabrication

Expert fabrication of custom enclosures and machine guards with secondary operations including heat bending, bonding, fastener installation, and precision drilling—avoiding most tooling charges while meeting exact specifications.

Mold Making & Tooling

Custom molds and tooling using CNC-milled wood or polyurethane for prototypes and aluminum castings for production. Low-cost tooling enables rapid design iterations and cost-effective production ramp-up.

Rapid Prototyping

Low-cost prototype enclosures produced in weeks using precision wood or polyurethane tooling. Evaluate fit, function, and design before committing to production tooling with rapid iteration capability.

High-Volume Production

Scalable production from prototyping to thousands of units using advanced 4'x7' rotary thermoforming with 2.5x faster cycle times. Rigorous quality control ensures consistency across large production runs.
